Lack of Time, Discussion and Improvement

Abstract

Despite the seemingly unlimited number of seminars, symposia and Meetings, each event suffers under time pressure. As a result, presentations held on similiar topics are often discussed together. It may be even more effective, however, to discuss all the contributions presented during a Meeting at the end. For example, it may prove to be absolutely satisfactory to debate all the presentations held during a 3-day medical Meeting within 15 minutes at the end. This proposal offers the additional advantage of forcing those speakers who usually spend just enough time at the Meeting to give their presentations to stay until the very end.
